York

On my way up to Edinburgh in September, I stopped in York for the day. York is in northern England and has significant Roman and Viking history, as well as a tremendous cathedral, which was built on the site of a Roman fortress. Among other things (including buying cold medicine and kleenex), I took one of the free walking tours of the town. This was the tour guide. He just looks like he knows stuff, doesn’t he?


In exciting housekeeping news, you may notice that all the time stamps on posts and comments have been switched to eastern U.S. time, rather than British time. Crazy. (Another crazy thing: today is my first day back at work—it’s been a while now.)
